Jake Ly turned in his basketball uniform for a racket and helped the South Torrance boys tennis team defeat Redondo, 11-7, in a nonleague match on Monday afternoon at Redondo High.

Ly, who averaged 9.9 points per game as a forward for the Spartans’ 5-21 boys basketball team, made a smooth transition to tennis as he swept his three singles sets for South in its season opener. Ly won his sets, 6-2, 6-0, 6-1.

Also sparking the Spartans were Nick Lench, who won two of three singles sets, and the doubles teams of Eric Hwang-Kouske Maeda and Elliott Park-Tomo Takatsu, which also took two of three sets.
